fantastic ice cream brand

I just returned from Chang Mai, Thailand, where I saw this amazing ice cream shop, iberry.

Here's the view from the street:

A flight of 5 mini cones:

It's an amazing brand - immaculately art directed, but extremely comfortable and laid back. Just perfect.

works by sam zimmerman and action daddy:

sam is a multimedia producer and one of the owners of monkey town, where he curates video art programs.

between 1996 and 2003, sam spent an inordinate amount of life on action daddy, a band project that originally was a pomprock spectacle and morphed into a lo-brow video sampling and junkyard midi gear thing.

> sam's recent work includes: community movie-making projects Bacchanale (2006) and Mago (2007) @ Monkey Town and Vena Virago's Honey Bunny (2008), production for claude wampler's ~~PERFORMANCE~~ (career ender) at the kitchen NYC (2006), museum exhibits and performances with genesis p-orridge @ Centre Pompidou PARIS (2009) and Kunstlerhaus Bethanien BERLIN (2004), audio design for assume vivid astro focus @ Deitch Projects NYC (2003), and music videos for pink&brown and the rolling stones.

sam's work would not be possible without the generous participation of his friends, collaborators and colleagues, some of whom are listed below.
